Anyone in the lounge ever been to the Stinking Rose in SF?
I had a daydream of eating a whole portion of Bagna Calda by myself today. Damn I love that place.

1. Yep, and drove through Gilroy to get there!
Gilroy: Garlic Capital of the World!

Man, the whole city smells like heaven!

3. I've wanted to go to the garlic festival there, but i've never made it
I've been though gilroy a coulple of times. I always roll down the window and breathe deeply. My love for garlic frightens most people other than my mom, she loves it more than I do.

6. It's on columbus street, just past china town as you're going uphill.
I think it's somewhere in the 300's.

9. I live 15 miles from Gilroy.
When they're processing garlic and the wind's right, we get that sumptuous aroma here.

17. Been there? Heck I grew up near there.
I love the Stinking Rose. There are better places to eat in San Francisco, but it's homage to the clove is charming.
